Hi, I heard (can't remember where, most likely HERE =) ) that AMD CPU's are faster/more efficient for TINKER coded projects. Is there any way to make my F@H client choose only Tinker WU's?

I thought it might work like that. Would have been a good idea, but it seems like it would border on cheating.scoobiedoo said:
This wouldn't work because when you first connect to stanford you connect through there assignment servers first...After this you are then routed to the whatever server that assignment server says.
I guess you could say that the assignment servers are like the routers of the project, they keep the traffic nice and smooth.
scoobs!
